Vegan cheese Beyond burger with avocado for under US$15 at hkveganshop in Wan Chai
- Our vegan cheese Beyond burger was meaty and chewy, but it lacked the juiciness, moisture and thickness of a super satisfying burger
- Basil, tomato spaghetti with Omnipork had sweetcorn meatballs that had a nice springy texture and mild flavour
Going vegan does not mean you have to give up on your favourite beef burger or meatball spaghetti meals. At hkveganshop, you can find spaghetti bolognese, burgers and burritos made with plant-based meat.
In general, mock meat mimics the texture of traditional meat with protein from pea, soy, or other vegetables and grains.
We were at the vegan restaurant for lunch, and ordered a vegan cheese Beyond burger with avocado (HK$111, US$14) and a basil, tomato spaghetti with Omnipork and sweetcorn meatballs (HK$72). Both dishes are accompanied with a small bowl of salad with lettuce, red cabbage, corn and carrot.
Each one is also individually marked with a tiny flag indicating the type of mock meat used.
Soon after we placed our order, we heard a sizzling sound from the kitchen that made our mouth water. The tomato spaghetti then came to our table with five mini Omnipork and corn meatballs, a few fresh basil leaves and quite a lot of ground black pepper.
